Holding them back alone
Holding them back alone
Wu Lingyu had said that it was possible that it was because this token needed the power of the human clan to open, which was why she probably couldn't open the little realm while in the Ghost Realm.
Those people around them didn't think that Wu Lingyu and the others would leave just like that. When they saw Sima You Yue all alone, it was unknown who cried out, "Kill her. She's the one evoking the lightning tribulation, so if we kill her, it will be fine."
After this shout, everyone finally reacted. That was right, as long as they killed her, wouldn't everything be okay?
They lifted their heads and saw the increasing darkening sky. They could already feel the drifting bolt of electricity and their hairs stood on end, as if threatening them with death.
As death drew closer, the more they desired to live and the gazes with which they used to look at Sima You Yue changed. At this time, there were already many who couldn't wait and already attacked her.
"Zap-"
A bolt of lightning struck those who came to attack her, and they immediately fell straight from the sky. At the same time, it stopped those who were rushing up in their tracks.
"Light- lightning?!"
They lifted their heads and looked at the tribulation clouds and confirmed that they had yet to finish gathering, so how did the lightning strike first?
Before they managed to understand, a few more bouts of lightning struck and killed those around Sima You Yue. It was only then that everyone saw that there was one purple coloured little cat in Sima You Yue's embrace.
"Every one of you is so impatient to rush over. This Lord doesn't permit you to come over just like that!" Little Purple waved its claws, and a few more bolts of electricity flew out from it's claws, landing on those beside it.
If they were merely suspicious before, then they now saw with their own eyes that Little Purple was the one who had released the thunderbolts. The way they looked at Little Purple changed immediately.
It was a spirit beast that was able to release lightning bolts! Sima You Yue wasn't human at all!
Sima You Yue watched the tribulation clouds, and there was still a bit more time before the calamity would begin. She called out her beasts, Mi Er, Little Seven, Flowey, Little Dream, Little Roc, Ya Guang, Little Roar, Little Golden, Halcyon, Onyx, Blacky and even Thousand Resonance, who had been in a deep sleep, had awoken. Adding Little Purple to the numbers, thirteen beasts stood in a row, the formation striking fear into their hearts.
Her beasts knew that this was not the time for jokes, so nobody spoke. They directly attacked those surrounding Sima You Yue, making it impossible for them to get close to her.
The strength of her beasts were nothing in the face of these experts, but they were still able to make sure that those people couldn't come close to her.
"This Sima You Yue, she actually has so many contracted beasts by her side!"
She not only had many of them, but they were powerful. These people were all experts in the Ghost Realm, but they actually were held back by these spirit beasts and were unable to get close.
Just as they were wondering whether or not to send a few more people down, a bout of flame shot out from her body. After flying two circles around her, it changed into the form of a fiery bird and soared around the entire place. Wherever the fiery bird flew past, not a single skeleton was left behind.
"What kind of fiery bird is that?" Someone cried out.
"That's not a bird, that's pure fire." Patriarch Peng looked at Little Birdie with shock, "That's…"
"Patriarch, what kind of fiery bird is that? How is it so powerful!"
"If I didn't recognise it wrongly, that should be the rumoured Nirvana Fire." Patriarch Peng was still in disbelief even as he finished speaking, "Nirvana fire is rumored to be the flames of the divine vermilion bird. How could it appear here?"
"Divine Vermilion Bird?!"
"This- How could this be possible…"
How could it be possible? How could it not? Since the rumors said that it was there, how could it not appear again?
However, how could it appear from Sima You Yue? Why was it with Sima You Yue!
They were even filled with despair. She still had those two guards from unknown origins, as well as a lover who could manipulate the River of Oblivion. She personally had so many contracted beasts from her side and was even able to evoke the lightning tribulation. Why did they insist on making an enemy out of her? What were they even thinking back then?
This side couldn't kill her, and the lightning tribulation on the other side was already going to strike. Sima You Yue saw that it was about time to begin and kept her beasts away, leaving only Little Purple behind to help her go through the lightning tribulation.
At this time, the tribulation clouds had already locked in everyone who was on site. Even if they could kill her, the tribulation cloud would not stop. That was why they no longer had the heart to deal with her anymore. They were only thinking of how they could resist the calamity.
As for her, she was finally able to rest at this moment. She was hugging Little Purple in the centre with nothing to do. After thinking for a moment, she hugged Little Purple and flew to the top of the tribulation cloud to chat with Cloud Spirit.
"She actually went to the top of the tribulation cloud, she's really suicidal!" Someone noticed that she had disappeared, and raised his head to see that she had actually gone to the top of the tribulation cloud. She was even on the top of it chatting happily. It seemed like she was having a conversation with the tribulation cloud?
Could it be that she had even forged a relationship with the tribulation cloud already? Just what kind of person was she!
What they didn't know was that they truly did have a relationship, but it wasn't forged through the strikes, but through drinks.
"You've caused another huge commotion for me again!" Cloud Spirit sat on the top of the cloud holding a jar of wine. It almost tipped off the cloud entirely.
"It's not like I wanted it, just look at how many people want to kill me. I had no choice as well, so I had to borrow your power." Sima You Yue beamed at it.
"You're making use of my strength, so you should compensate me!" Cloud Spirit huffed, "Why do people try to kill you no matter where you go? Your personality is so bad!"
Sima You Yue waved her hand and a pile of fruit wines and anti-drunkenness pills appeared on the cloud. When she saw the shine in Cloud Spirit's eyes along with its greatly improved mood, she stretched out and poked it on the head, asking, "Are these enough?"
"Barely." Cloud Spirit waved its little tail and said arrogantly.
"Greedy!" Sima You Yue loved the times she could interact with Cloud Spirit. Although it often zapped her till her whole body hurt, when they were together, she felt so relaxed. There was no need to worry about anything else.
"Alright, I'm going to start striking everyone. Aren't you getting off yet!"
"Just thinking about it hurts. Don't zap me too hard later on, got it?"
"You wish, you're the one who's going through this calamity! Go go go, get down!" Cloud Spirit urged.
Sima You Yue left while hugging Little Purple. The moment she landed on the ground, the first strike landed on the ground. As the person who was going through this calamity, the first strike naturally landed on her.
Little Purple helped to absorb the majority of the strike, and she only needed a small amount of energy to recover. Since she had a soul body, she could use lightning to refine herself, which already made her the only person in history who was able to do so.
This scene shocked those who were forced to go through the calamity with her so much that their chins almost hit the ground.
It was no wonder that she dared to evoke such a powerful lightning tribulation. It turned out that she wasn't afraid of getting struck!
"Zap-"
"Zap-"
The second and third strike hit, but their target wasn't her this time. Shortly after the lightning struck, they heard ear-splitting cries...
